Special Needs School

New Horizon Special Needs School is an inclusive school for children with learning needs as well as mainstream students. The school builds confidence and competency in all children through providing an enabling environment which can empower all students to reach their full potential.

This Special Needs School embraces all children's needs from those with learning, language or social challenges to the gifted and talented.

They contribute to the well being of the Ghanaian society by reaching out to the community by providing training to Ghanaian teachers on inclusive teaching and supporting those in challenged schools (Ghanaian government or public schools).

Currently, the School is incorporating a mixed therapeutic input to their regular curriculum. They work with children aged 3-18 years through therapy, mainly speech and language, music, occupational therapy and physiotherapy.

One of the sectors of the Ghanaian educational system that is hardly given any attention is the education of children with special needs. Inclusive education in Ghana is more about meeting the needs of students with special needs in an educational system swamped by huge numbers of untrained teachers. This worrying trend is gradually being slowed through the work of schools such as the New Horizon Special Needs School. New Horizon Special Needs School is recognized in Ghana as the first Inclusive Education Institution that offers a full time UK National Curriculum.
